How can HDTV be improved?
This is my opinion:
1. 3D picture, without any glasses. The technology is already available and is getting improved and commercialized. 2. 1080p resolution and larger screens. |

3: Wider distribution.
Lots of HDTV-ready sets out there. Not much programming to watch. Dean Sensui Base Two Productions |

4) Someone please hand me $15,000.00 so that I can by a HD-ready set, tuner, dish, and pay the monthly connection fees for a year. Oh, and I'll need a bigger apartment for the big widescreen. :)

basically, HDTV ready means that the set can display 1024 x 768 progressive scan, but, doesn't have the receiver to decode the transmitted HDTV signal. IOW, the set is a very expensive monitor only. The only sets I've seen with built in receivers are wide screen plasma displays that cost in excess of $4K. HAhhaaaa, I really don't see ANYTHING on broadcast or cable TV that I think is worth paying that kind of money to see.

You can get hdtv receivers for about $300 here in L.A. Future sets will have them built.

Went to Costco yesterday. $750 for Samsung HD TV set -- I think 31". Excellent picture. If you have cable, you can rent the box with HDTV output from the cable company -- don't have to buy the receiver.

Watching 24 in Widescreen HDTV would be worth it all...
